We've never had a bad dish or bad service here. It's our go-to for birthdays. I recently had a gluten intolerance diagnosis, but there's no problem finding several great items on the menu that are gluten-free. The portions are generous, the bar is great, and the staff are top notch. Highly recommend!

Always excellent, NEVER disappointed! Sedona is our FAVORITE, and we love when she waits on us. We took our friends with us, for their first time, they loved everything! Thank you to the awesome female bartender who made our drinks on point, the Chefs, and Sedona for making our night so special! ??

It's been over a year since I've been here, but the chicken piccata was delicious! The steak was perfectly cooked! Drinks were ? The place is small so I'd recommend calling ahead.

Sat at the bar as usual. Bartender made a great martini...no skimping. Chix parm was delish.

Food and service was fantastic Saturday night. Look forward to our return soon. If you like eggplant, you won't find it any better. The homemade deserts were the best.

Overall a nice Valentines evening. Food choices are plentyful as are the portions. Unusual to me was the choice of Salmon in the frutti de mare as personally a white fish would have been more enjoyable but otherwise a great dish. Desserts were huge and excellent!

The food and service at Lucia's Tavola was excellent. On a Saturday night the noise level was pretty high, although we had a table in the window separated from much of the crowd. We will return!

We have never been disappointed with Lucias Tavola. Our waitress was awesome, table ready and available on arrival. Linens and table ware lovely. The one and only criticism is that what I ordered was not consistent with the same dish I ordered in the past. Even so, the quality and taste was excellent. We left happy with full bellies!

It's always busy so noise level is a bit much. That being said our server was great with beverage, appetizer and food service. Everything is a bit pricey these days but items were within expectations for cost. The three people with me all really enjoyed their meals. I had the special, a swordfish and calamari dish The fish was a bit overdone and sauce a bit blasé.
I had never been to that area let alone the restaurant. It is a very nice area, parking was a bit challenging. There is a sketchy looking public parking garage down the block. But the food was excellent.

Ambience is quaint and cozy. Easy street parking. Great waiter. Good wine by glass options and generous wine pour. Caesar dressing wasn't to my liking, and the salad was served with several anchovies, gross imo. Wish I had been given a choice of leaving them out because it affects the taste of the salad if you just remove them. Plentiful bread served and well seasoned oil for dipping. Chicken Parmesan was excellent, crispy and high quality, but they serve green beans on top, buried in the cheese, rather would have had on the side. The tiramisu was wayyyy too strong with liquor it overpowered and destroyed what could have been creamy goodness. If I wanted a shot I would have ordered one!

We had reservations but when we arrived, several seats at the bar were available. We enjoy sitting at the bar as the service is usually better. I don't how good the service was in the restaurant but we had excellent service. Bottle of chianti and delicious food! We had a great time and we will surely return.

Lucia's is one of my very favorite places to go for dinner. Easily beats going to the north end in Boston for the same quality food, and often times even better. I brought a friend who had never been before and he too is now a Lucia's fan. One of my top favorite restaurants ever.
My husband and I had a wonderful meal at Lucia's Tavola last night for dinner. We made reservations but we ate at the bar. The bartenders were so friendly and nice. The food was really good. I would have liked mine a bit warmer but it was still really good. The crème brûlée was really good. All and all a Really good meal
